Default Looks like my bike will be totaled

I took my bike to the local shop today to satisfy the insurance adjustor with an opinion on the engine damage. I knew I had oil in all sorts of places oil is not supposed to be and it was mixing with the coolant in the head and leaking out. Obviously this is not good and today the main service guy heard it try to start and said the motor was locked up with oil and coolant sitting on top of the motor. So that along with the extensive body damage means it's done.

I'm thinking of waiting til the 09 zook 750 comes out, any suggestions? Either that or hope Honda releases a 600RR with higher bars, slightly longer swingarm, a hair lower compression ratio, more extensive fairing with great graphics, and calls it the F5i.

I would suggest going used with a 07 600RR... have you seen those things?? look AMAZING and the new gel seats look way more comfortable then the f4i seats to be perfectly honest... plus... ITS A HONDA! lol

Waiting to see how my neck works out. Its kind of messed up right now. Neck flexability is kind of important when riding a sport bike. I bet the 09 GSXR 750s are gonna be good (hope) the 07-08 CBR 600's are awesome but may be a little small for my 6 ft 4 size. Top notch bike though
